FWIW: there is a network backup "solution" available in the market called "Mirra". It is currently owned by Seagate. Here is my review:

It is a piece of shyt.

Is that a taste-based review, KB?

I love that Mirra's name is so close to 'Merde' :D

If you plan on celebrating...be sure you verify that you can restore your backed up data. 50% of all backed up data* fails to restore properly.

Mr. Delight brings up an excellent point. Thank you sir. Here is another fun one along the same lines for all you worker bees out there. Delete one of your own documents off the network. Wait two or more days and ask for it back. See what happens. Can the IT staff (or person) get it back? How long did it take? Was the date on the file the same as the one you deleted? Note: You should probably use a file you don't need for this experiment.

For you overachievers, create a file at 10:00am, save over it with another file at 10:30am and see if your IT department can get back the original.

Or, we can all just break out the nougat.

We spent the weekend in hotel rooms and Matthew insisted that we needed a big bag of Milky Ways to help see us through.

I'm all nougated out.

Think I'll back up my data instead. :)

Moonliner 10-24-2006 10:38 AM

Wait just a second. Are you saying that nougat is the stuff in Milky Way's?

I thought it was just the nasty nutty stuff in mounds.

I hereby rescind my earlier anti-nougat statements.

Backups and Nougat all around.

It's all about 3 Musketeers, none of that silly caramel to get in the way of the nougat.

Mounds and Almond Joy have coconut.

Which of course makes them unfit for human consumption. I wholeheartedly agree.
